Drinks

Here at Calabash, our drinks program is designed to give you an authentic taste of the Caribbean. We are proud to host the largest selection of rums available to the consumer in Vancouver and encourage you to open your taste buds and try a diverse and fantastic spirit, brimming with a rich, colourful, controversial and sometimes sinister history.

Our handcrafted cocktails are a small showcase of the drinks we are able to create and use traditional Caribbean flavours utilizing house made syrups and fresh ingredients.
